Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I help clients understand the particular changes in brain physiology that trigger OCD, and help them develop habits that reduce OCD symptoms over time without feeling like they are in a brute-force struggle with their obsessions and compulsions.

In working with OCD, I do a deep assessment related to the onset of your obsessive rumination and compulsive behaviors or mental rituals to break the cycle of feeling like you are on a constant hamster wheel you can't exit. I utilize a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention, working with you to stop the

I specialize in treating OCD using CBT with a focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP helps individuals confront their fears and reduce compulsive behaviors. Through therapy, we'll work together to identify your OCD triggers and develop exposure exercises to confront these fears in a supportive environment. With ERP, you'll learn effective strategies to manage your symptoms, regain control over your thoughts and behaviors, and experience a significant improvement in your life.

Obessions and/or compulsions can be distressing and disruptive to your life. Whether you experience mild symptoms with occasional interference in your life or struggle with more serious challenges, we will help you build awareness and understanding to help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. I am working toward completing a training in I-CBT to help better support clients struggling with OCD.

OCD is treatable and it is our goal to get OCD into full remission. We specialize exclusively in the treatment of OCD in adult women, and treat all subtypes of OCD. We provide you with expert, high-quality and personalized treatment. Sessions will be conducted with a PhD-level psychologist, trained in highly-ranked programs with over 15 years of experience. Dr. Fine will be a speaker at the 2022 International OCD Foundation conference.

Therapists in our practice utilize evidenced based techniques for OCD, such as, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and I-CBT. Clients will learn how to manage distress around thoughts without compulsive behaviors, recognize intrusive thoughts, habituate (lower anxiety) around thoughts. Therapists at Mosaic Minds have experience around OCD themes of contamination, sexual obsessions, harm obsessions, symmetry/just right themes, scrupulosity, and more.

I was trained at the Houston OCD Institute under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale.

Dr. Parlor is an internationally recognized educator and advocate for OCD recovery.

I utilize ACT and ERP to treat OCD. Together we will learn to lean into discomfort instead of avoid it.

I have extensive training in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. To be transparent, circumstances in my personal life have shaped my interest in and empathy for those who experience this debilitating condition. OCD is a widely misunderstood experience, and I am here to help you understand the specifics of your OCD and how to break the problematic cycles that keep you feeling stuck.

Trained in OCD and using Exposure Response Prevention to treat.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP or ERP). This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for OCD available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create obsessive thinking and emotional distress and how to simultaneously resist acting on urges to engage in your compulsive behavior. Clients are often amazed at the results.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a very debilitating condition. It involves obsessions (recurring and unwanted thoughts, ideas, images or urges) that create significant anxiety and lead to compulsions (repetitive behaviors such as hand washing that are performed with the hopes of getting rid of the obsessions and anxiety). Not performing the behaviors can lead to considerable anxiety. Pure-O is a subtype of OCD that involves intrusive thoughts with no physical compulsions.

I enjoy working with folks who have OCD, I have seen folks recover and find relief through both exposure and response prevention, and inference-based cognitive behavioral therapy. I have training in both approaches and experience working with folks who have OCD with a variety of themes from "hit and run" OCD, to taboo sexual obsessions or even fear of hurting others. I'm comfortable talking about these issues and helping folks find hope that there is recovery for OCD.

Im trained in ExRP (formerly known as ERP). I'd love to guide you through the process of exposures so you can live a life free from intrusive, unwanted thoughts, and compulsive behavior.

OCD is so difficult to deal with, especially because people often think of it as just being neat or tidy. But it's so hard when these anxiety thoughts become something that we feel like we can't get away from, and the only way we've learned we can deal with it is with some kind of compulsive action in the world. It may be hard to find proper care, but it is possible. I've been trained in CBT and ERP, to help you learn that you can sit with these feelings, without your compulsions.

In working with OCD, I do a deep assessment related to the onset of your obsessive rumination and compulsive behaviors or mental rituals to break the cycle of feeling like you are on a constant hamster wheel you can't exit. I utilize a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention collaborating with you to treat your OCD. You will likely be working on constructing a hierarchy of feared events so we can develop exposure activities to help you overcome your anxiety.
